How old is this forgecraft knife I picked up?

I almost got this free at an estate sale. It's construction is old so I am thinking 30s or 40s

I think circa 1960s

FWIW it's a boning knife, and cleaned up a bit it's a fine one. I keep one in my deer camp kit and another in the kitchen.

No collector value.

I've rehabbed and rehandled a couple of dozen of them over the last several years. They make great practice projects and the end result is a utility knife that a non-knife nut isn't totally intimidated by. I have kept a few and gifted the rest to friends and family and coworkers.
